Democracy starts with you as President (or
Prime-Minister) of a modern country. The country is a run
as a simple democracy where you need to get over 50% of the
vote each election in order to remain in power. The object
of the game is to stay in power as long as possible (there
are no limits as to how many terms you may be elected president).
Democracy
is a detailed simulation game that is 'turn based' where each turn of the game
represents 3 months of time. Elections are held every 4 years. The game has a
complex internal model to represent the population of your country. A large number
of different 'voter groups' are modeled, such as Motorists, Trade-Unionists, Unemployed
people, Wealthy people etc. The simulation allows people to be in several groups
at once, so for example, an unemployed poor motorist will be influenced by the
opinions of all 3 groups when it comes to election day. |
